Short 2011 Draft Review

I'm looking at the Steelers-Bengals pregame show tonight, and I'm seeing AJ Green warming up.  I'm thinking AJ Green, one of the top receivers in the league already.  Then I think about Cam and his progress.  Obviously, his production has be stalled due to this inept staff.  Yet still, I'm starting to hear more and more that Cam is not a pocket passer.  That he needs to run more as a way to settle him down, and get comfortable.  This kind of talk bothers me very much.  I like Cam's running ability, I always saw it more of a trump card, that it should be that way.  Yet if you were to ask me to pick between the best athletic QB and the best pocket passing QB, I'd choose the pocket passer 1,000,000% of the time.  Give me a guy who can dissect defenses with his arm, and I'll give you a shot at the superbowl.

 

 

So concerning the topic, a lot of people wanted AJ Green in the draft.  (For me it came down to two guys.  Either Patrick Peterson or Marcell Dareus.  I went with Dareus.)  Again I'm looking at Green warming up, arguably already the best receiver in the game.  I'm thinking did we make the right choice here?

Green here with Clawful throwing to him...pass. However, the team would have sucked enough to get Luck. Now a Luck to Green combo, yes please! Get your time machine ready!

 

I think Derek Anderson would have still been brought in due to his connections with Chud.  Anderson to Smitty and Green might have got the job done.

Yeah, because Cam has had NO success passing from the pocket in 2011 or 2012.

 

You nailed it, dude.

 

I didn't say he didn't have success.  Yet, he's regressing now, and of course his accuracy has always been on and off.  I'm wondering if there will be a day where Cam will be thought of as dissecting defenses with his arm, or will he always just be another athletic QB with a strong arm.  I'm getting impatient now.

Cam's not a great pocket passer. We need to stop trying to force a square peg thru a round hole and play to his strengths.

 

That's what I'm afraid of.  If that is the case, we need to split ways right now.  There will never be a day where an athletic QB is successful consistently.  NFL defenses are just too fast and too smart.

I don't get where you get the idea "athletic" QB don't use their brains and don't dissect defenses with their arm? You are never going to rush more than you throw in a season as a QB.

Um. There was this guy named Steve Young. He was athletic. I also remember him being pretty successful.

      Preseason Week 3 - vs. Pittsburgh (practice tweets, discussion, etc)

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      They had best show out in Week 1 there are zero,I mean zero,  excuses for that offense  defense, haven’t play together yet and they still have Mr Soft and Predictable as DC  I expect break downs at times  …but that offense returns all starters except Tremble and both Mayes and Brady are veterans and can play LG and know the system not up for any participation awards this season they can save that practice energy for Jacksonville.     I’m sick of the, winning,  or looking competitive, when it doesn’t matter.

      There are some tough decisions that I'm eager to see the results of... Does Blackshear sneak on to the roster as RB4? Does the team go with 4 TEs or just 3 again? And has Mitchell Evans done enough to defend his roster spot from James Mitchell? Who is WR6 and is there a WR7? TMac, XL, Coker, and AT seem to be locks imo and I'm assuming Renfrow also makes it due to all of the camp praise. Who makes it between Brycen Tremayne, Jimmy Horn Jr, and David Moore? If the team goes with 7 WRs, which one of those three doesn't make it? Jacolby George and Emani Bailey both have not gotten a lot of game time. Could the Panthers be trying to hide them so that they can be stashed on the PS? Do they go with 10 OL instead of 9? Who makes it out of Walton, Carter, and Kingston? DL locks are DB, BB3, ARob, and Turk. That leaves Jaden Crumedy, Cam Jackson, Sam Roberts, Shy Tuttle, and LaBryan Ray all competing for the final 1 - 3 spots. Does DJ Johnson get IR'd and Thomas Incoom make the roster as EDGE5? What in the fuuuuuuuuuuuuck is going to happen at LB? Only locks are Wallace, Rozeboom, and Cherelus (Wallace has mentioned in media how Cherelus has been big bro for him on the team) seem to be locks. Rhattigan had some good moments against Houston, Martin-Scott is an SC guy, Krys Barnes has popped on defense and on special teams, and Windmon got time starting for the team last season. Are two of those guys going to make it or are the Panthers poaching from another team's cuts? CB5... who is it? Do they go with the 4 expected safeties or bring in a 5th? Has Ransom done enough to take the start from Nick Scott?

      I had this discussion with my buddy yesterday afternoon. If we start this season very slow(especially with the schedule being what it is) and then "rally" in the second half to get to 4-7 wins, I am already gonna be pretty heated at the staff overall. I know we are a very bad roster but I am not gonna keep excusing these slow season starts WITH late season rallies. That's a coaching staff problem, IMO. It's more excusable to just stink gate to gate, IMO. At least you can understand why.
